Here I am in Weggis on Lake Lucerne in
Central Switzerland, one of my family's favourite hang-out. More precisely
this picture was taken on the terrace of the Park Hotel, a place which was
just recently restored to its former glory. In the background we see the
lower parts of Mount Rigi. Mount Rigi is also known as "Queen of the
Mountains" because it is a very distinct, free-standing mountain.
Mount Rigi combines at the same time awe-inspiring rocks with gentle cow pastures. |

There is an impressive fleet of
old wheel steam-boats cruising Lake Lucerne. They were to be scrapped but
luckily friends of nostalgia collected enough money to save them. |

Steam Boat Uri on Lake Lucerne.
Uri is the name of one of the three founding cantons of Switzerland. |

In the background we see Mount
Buergenstock. A small mountain which is the location of the famous "Buergenstock
Hotels". |

View from another terrace where
we had dinner. To the left we see the end (or beginning) of Mount Buergenstock. |
